AMBIENCE/CLIENTELE
A no-frills pizza parlor with the requisite booths and long counter for ordering, Pat's is beloved by this Irish-American section of Dorchester and certain staff members of the nearby Boston Globe.
Extras/Notes
Owner Pat McDonagh whose Irish name is "spelled the correct way" hadn't found his calling until he learned the art of pizza-making from a Sicilian in West Roxbury 20 years ago. Pat's popularity has soared of late after some Globe regulars made
mention of the pizzeria in the paper's calendar section, spreading news of the Lower Mills pizza parlor to stoops across New England.
